Hey, y'all, Here's a copy of my call for papers. Enjoy! Oh, and submit!
I am seeking submissions for my Rocky Mountain Modern Language = Association
Panel for the "Practical Approaches to Teaching Culture" panel, to be
presented at the 60th annual RMMLA convention in Tucson, AZ (October =
12-14, 2006).
In today's multicultural American environment, it is imperative for =
college instructors to integrate lessons which challenge our students to
better understand culture. To do so, we must seek innovative, fun, and
creative approaches toward doing so. How will we get our students engaged in
understanding culture, so that it is applicable to their lives outside = of
the classroom? What are some of the lessons you use to engage your =
students in considering and analyzing the ideas of culture? This panel seeks
creative yet critical approaches toward teaching culture in the = classroom.
We would like to see equally creative and innovative presentations of =
those lessons to the group, allowing attendees of this session to see and =
discuss your lesson, review some handouts, view your PowerPoint
presentations or even look over sample student writing. Get creative. Have
fun with it! = =20
Please submit a 250-word abstract describing your presentation, what = audio
visual aids you will need to present, and a short 100-word description = of
yourself. =20
Deadline for abstracts: March 1, 2006. =20
Those who have been accepted to this panel will be notified by March 15,
2006.
In order to present at this conference, those who are accepted must pay =
the applicable RMMLA dues (by April 1) *AND* convention registration fee.
For more information about this conference, including but not limited to =
the general call for papers, other sessions' calls for papers, and available
grants and awards to aid in the costs of attending (for both faculty and
students), review the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association website at:
